Bring hope with a Be Well Bell
In the 1950s, Mental Health America unveiled the “Bell of Hope”. Made with the discarded chains and shackles from asylums, once used as restraints during treatment, they transformed the relics of a cruel past into a powerful symbol of progress.
You can help carry this story forward and ring in a new era of mental healthcare in our communities. By installing a custom designed Be Well Bell, you can help break down stigma, inspire hope, and open conversations about support and resources.

SEE ALLBe Well Moment: A Simple Tool for Overthinking
Sometimes we find ourselves caught in a mental rerun. In this Be Well Moment, the Besties share a simple practice for changing perspective when our thoughts keep looping. Mental Time Travel, or temporal distancing, invites us to step back from the intensity of a thought spiral and check in with a future version of ourselves. Building on Episode 7, this exercise offers a way to quiet rumination by widening our perspective and remembering that what seems urgent right now may not always feel this overwhelming.

ListenWhy We Can’t Stop Replaying That Awkward Moment
Have you ever gotten stuck in a thought spiral? Besties, it happens to everyone. Sometimes our brains replay awkward conversations, predict worst-case scenarios, or keep looping through moments that felt uncomfortable, uncertain, or unresolved. In this episode, the Be Well Besties explore rumination, worry spirals, and the constant chatter of our inner voice. They unpack why our brains get stuck in these loops and explore gentle, brain-healthy ways to soften the chatter with more awareness, perspective, and self-compassion. Episode 8 continues this conversation with a practical strategy called Mental Time Travel.

ListenBe Well Moment: A Tool for Emotional Rest
Self-assessment is a simple but powerful practice for emotional rest. It can be as easy as asking yourself how you're feeling right now and what might help. In this Be Well Moment, Nia guides us through a short, intentional writing practice to help us get clear on where we are, what we need, and how to care for ourselves so we can show up more fully, without masking how we feel or just getting by. It builds on Episode 5 by creating space to put those ideas into practice in a more personal way.
